Hi Professor ,

Didn't Carlton tell the AFL it didn't want !st priority pick for being last as it would look like they had been tanking all season , i'm sure i read that during the bye rounds somewhere or it may have been on fox footy ...???????

The said they wouldn’t be applying for a priority pick, only reason out of the club was it was there own mess to clean.up.

Yes that's the party line, but, I'm assuming that may change given all these heavy losses. Should be interesting to see if their stance changes.
Carlton doesn't want to ask for a priority picks as it kills it changes to pick up free agents and send wrong message to players and fans. Expect they maintain this line and wait to see if AFL just decides to give it to them. More respectable way to go. Stupid system really, should just be an AFL decision. The risk of asking and being rejected is too high.

I believe they still do have to apply for a priority pick, if they want it, so we'll see what happens. Thanks to all for their input.

I've missed Danger and Cripps. Odds on for Titchell to have a shocker with the VC.

You're quite high up, aren't you? Reckon consider the other top teams. Sicily should outdo that given form, but etc.

Going to be some monster scores this week with Danger, Cripps, Laird and now Titch going large!

Titch up to 14 disposals already and the first quarter isn’t even over yet, yowsers!

Wow.. Titch... I thought locking in Cripps score was going to work out well.
Every week I pick Titch he has a shocker, finally lock in a solid VC score in Cripps and Titch decides to go nuts

73 Sc...... what’s the highest ever SC score? Anyone know, Danger and Ablett have gone over 200 a couple of times, and I remember Big Dean Cox getting a 214 a few years back.
